The Game of Two Halves had
the Peebles supporters wondering why they had bothered to travel to Dundee on
Saturday long before the interval. A second half renaissance, cheered them up no
end as Peebles found their confidence, things clicked into place, ball stayed in
hand and the Peebles attack opened up flaws in the home team’s game plan as
they added 6 tries to the first half one.
Overheard at the
game, “Where can I buy a goldfish? There seems to be lots of plastic bags
around here with goldfish on them” There followed a discussion on various fish
dishes, and which country ate the different types of fish. Was the first half
that bad?
Not content with
being interviewed by John Beattie on Radio Scotland last Friday night about his
Torch Trust Trophy Award, Donald Swanson, one of the four Peebles guests at the
pre match lunch in Dundee, received further congratulations from Morgan Club
President, David Adam.

It’s now well into
the second half.
B “Do think George will reverse my ban on travelling to away games for being a
jinx now we are winning?”
C “No he won’t. You’re still a bad influence”
B “Fair enough”
Tomorrow, the firsts
meet bottom of the table Murrayfield Wanderers at the Gytes. Note kick off is
3.00 PM. It’s a game where Peebles cannot afford to slip up and must take
maximum points to maintain their current advantage in the Scottish Hydro
Electric League.
The seconds have a
tough game against Gala at Hay Lodge Park in the Border Farm Feeds Championship
that kicks off at 2 PM.
The colts want to get
back to their winning ways and are away to Melrose Wasps, who they beat
convincingly earlier in the season.
The “Be There To Be
In It,” Member’s draw was not claimed when number 237 came up; much to the
disappointment of the owner of number 236, Director of Rugby, Bob Hogarth who
was in the club.
The prize moves on up to £150 for the next draw on 1st December. See
club web site http://www.peeblesrfc.org
for details.

tomorrow night, there will be a Race Night at 7.30 PM, followed by a Disco
starting at 9.30 PM.
Tickets are only £3 and can be obtained from Neil Hogarth or Jim Currie.
Over 18s only. Photographic proof of age will be required.
New SRU sponsors Baxter’s are providing the first course for tomorrow’s

Plans are well in hand for The Hamilton McCullough Memorial Shield game. This
year it will be played on 22nd December, when Peebles 1sts play
Melrose 1sts in the BSPC Border League at the Gytes. We will be raising money
for local charity Make a Difference (MAD) throughout the day. Details available
